<p>Of his 1988 film&nbsp;<em>Dead Ringers</em>, David Cronenberg said, "It has to do with that element of being human. It has to do with that ineffable sadness that is an element of human existence."&nbsp;This statement is entirely true. His film manages to simultaneously question and confirm the humanity and weaknesses of its central characters; however, Cronenberg's assessment of his own film is surprisingly reductive. Upon closer investigation,&nbsp;<em>Dead Ringers</em>&nbsp;seems to be about so much more. It's a complicated discussion of identity-how we come to understand ourselves, what defines us, and ultimately, what destroys us.</p><p><a href="http://classic-horror.com/newsreel/the_fruit_cellar_from_body_horror_to_identity_horror" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://classic-horror.com/newsreel/the_fruit_cellar_from_body_horror_to_identity_horror#commentsThe Fruit CellarCommentarydavid cronenbergdead ringersthe fruit cellarWed, 14 Jul 2010 05:39:55 +0000Missy Yearian17221 at http://classic-horror.com
